Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting is registered in the Netherlands. Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.
Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting is a Dutch foundation (stichting) - the most common legal form for charities and public-benefit organisations in the Netherlands. A stichting has no members, is governed by a board, and is established by notarial deed for a specific purpose. It is the only Dutch legal form that can hold ANBI (public-benefit) status without member oversight. There are about 250,000 stichtingen on file at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK), of which roughly 50,000 hold ANBI status with the Belastingdienst. It is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, with RSIN 002585674.
You can verify Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 002585674. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.
Contact Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting directly for current donation methods. Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.
Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/802. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.
As an ANBI, Longfonds & Patientenorganisatie Stichting is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.

Het longfonds is een instelling die er alleen is voor het eigenbelang! Dus niet voor degene(n) die aan levenslang astma lijden. Zij komen ook niet op voor de belangen van astmapatienten!! Een pakkend voorbeeld is dat rokers massaal sedert 2016 de straat op gejaagd zijn door antirokersclubs die vooral maling hebben aan de belangen van astmapatienten. Het Longfonds behoort daar ook toe! Als je als longfonds (eerst astmafonds) in de voorgaande 65 jaar niet kan bedenken dat het voor de hand zou liggen en wenselijk zou zijn dat een groot deel van de ontvangen accijnzen door de staat op tabak besteed zou moeten worden aan het welzijn van astmapatienten ben je als belangenvereniging niets waard!! Astmapatienten mogen levenslang het eigen risico voor de zorgverzekering betalen, zij krijgen jaarlijks net als andere chronischzieken een fopspeen-tegemoetkoming van 145 euro van het CAK Saneringen in huis voor je gezondheid vallen niet onder de zorgverzekering die kosten zijn ook geheel voor de astmapatient in kwestie en daarvoor is natuurlijk ook geen fonds hoogstens de leenbijstand van de gemeente. Omdat rokers naar de straat verbannen zijn krijgt de auteur van dit bericht steeds meer last van rook en astma-aanvallen daardoor moet hij soms naar de Spoedeisende hulp in het ziekenhuis hetgeen extra zorgkosten betekend, kortom ik moet extra zorgkosten accepteren omdat rokers de horeca zijn uitgejaagd!! Jaarlijks wordt er voor 3 miljard accijns uit de zak geroofd bij rokers maar van deze torenhoge accijnzen komt er niks maar dan ook helemaal niks terecht bij de directe slachtoffers van roken nl. astmapatienten. Als je ziek bent in dit smerige land heb je eeuwig pech! Ik heb nauwelijks een schoolopleiding gehad en ook geen werk omdat leraren vroeger gewoon in het klaslokaal stonden te roken!! Gevolg: nooit op vakantie, altijd vechten om je hoofd boven water te houden, levenslang van een lage uitkering rond te moeten komen "zelfs recht voor de kerst in 1983 dakloos geraakt, met vr

Ik ben de wsl de 1e persoon ter wereld die grotendeels op eigen kracht van COPD is afgekomen. In 2013 is COPD bij me geconstateerd met een longinhoud van 68%. Daarna nog 3x geblazen in zo'n pijpje. In 2017 77%, 2021 83% en in 2025 92% en heb dus absoluut geen COPD meer en wou als klankbord voor ze fungeren. Gaan ze zeggen dat het niet wetenschappelijk bewezen is. Tja, geen cent waard en dus geen euro geven aan zo'n organisatie. Ik train voor meerdere wereldrecords in de kracht en vechtsport en wandel 10km/u, terwijl ik 12 jaar geleden nog heel benauwd was. Dramatische organisatie.🐀❤️🤓🙂🙂🏋♂️🤸♂️Wil je meer weten dan komt het binnenkort in het nieuws en middels m'n boeken.

ik belde deze organisatie op voor advies voor mijn astma omdat ze nogal last had met sporten en lange stukken fietsen waar haar school op aandrong. volgens de dame van longfonds was dat helmaal niet mogelijk dat mijn het mijn dochter het niet lukt om 6 kilometer heen en terug te fietsen in de kou of regen. met andere woorden u bent niet goed snik. gaslichters organisatie.
